Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Small quaint restaurant in New Zealand. We quite enjoyed our Indian food and it was very homey. I got the Kothu parotta which is a popular South Indian street food. It was very filling. My only complaint would be that there was a lot of fat on the meat I had to remove myself. Other than that I liked it a lot- I went there twice in a three day trip"
"We ordered biryani for 25 people, and overall, the experience was great. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, and everyone enjoyed it. However, there was a slight burnt onion taste in the dish, but it didn’t take away from the rest of the meal, which was excellent. Would definitely consider ordering again!"
"The biryani we ordered for our small get-together was absolutely amazing. Every grain was perfectly cooked, full of rich aroma and flavour. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully balanced — you could truly taste the care put into it. The catering made our gathering even more special, and everyone couldn’t stop complimenting the meal. Highly recommended for any occasion!"
"Ordered beef biryani for lunch ,To be honest to say the biriyani it's just divine Good portion, Authentic flavour. Fresh,Nice combination of spices, it's the best beef biryani I have ever tried in NZ. Highly recommended. 10/10. Thank you so much chef and Team Mallus Corner."
"Mallus Corner What a wonderful experience! The food truly brought me back home — I could feel the real taste of home in every bite. The Kizhi Porotta and Chicken Biryani were absolutely delicious. The flavors, the aroma, the love in the cooking everything reminded me of Kerala. For a moment, I felt like I was right there again. A big thank you to the entire team for your amazing cooking skills and warm hospitality. It wasn’t just a meal; it was a beautiful memory for our whole family. Can’t wait to come back again — you’ve definitely won our hearts"
"Outstanding kerala Buffet! The food was consistently hot and fresh throughout. The taste and freshness genuinely transported me back home with its authentic village kinda flavour. The quality and taste were so impressive that I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine South Indian food! Though this is my first visit they are welcoming, receptionist is humble too. This restaurant appears smaller than its potential. All the best. Air con, reasonable price and I was told it’s halal too, on the day I went - there were no pork in the buffet menu."
"Customer friendly staff and tasty food. Order a takeaway Chilli-pork with Paratha. Very nice packing. The food was so delicious. People who love spicy food can try this. Enjoyed. Went for the buffet, as they recently started it on Saturdays and Sundays. Enjoyed the delectable meals and dessert. The meals are really enjoyable for those who appreciate South Indian cuisine. The buffet was reasonably priced."
"We had an incredible experience at the best Kerala restaurant in New Zealand. Traveling from Auckland on a Saturday, we were delighted to find a wonderful buffet lunch for just $25. It truly felt like a feast, and the flavors reminded me so much of home in Kerala. It was heartwarming to indulge in such delicious food that brought back beautiful memories."
